In 2000, Susie Dodson was diagnosed with a rare, and often fatal, heart-lung disorder, a type of pulmonary
hypertension called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Susie and her husband met with specialists at some of the best medical
institutions in the country and were given a variety of treatment options. None seemed right until meeting with physicians at UAB
who saved Susie’s life with a series of investigational, breakthrough medical treatments. The Pulmonary Vascular Disease Clinic
at UAB is one of the preeminent clinics of its type in the country.
